Verdict
INYORDREAMS showed plenty of potential in her two opening runs and stated favourite for a 7f maiden here last month. She led for most of the way until caught on the line by Chesturo and that's by far the best form on view so she should go one better. Missouri Spirit looked in need of the experience on his debut on soft ground at Ayr and will come on for the run though a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of the newcomer Bretherton. Richard Fahey's Exceed And Excel colt's price went from 18,000gns as a foal to £100,000 as a two-year-old and has obviously impressed someone. Pure Impressions has a speedy pedigree and is another newcomer to note.
